Chicken Marsala Casserole Recipe - This quick and easy recipe for Chicken Marsala Bake is delicious! Can be doubled to make an easy freezer recipe.

My daughter absolutely loves my Chicken Marsala Recipe. If I ask her what I should make for dinner she usually answers Chicken Marsala. And if there are any leftovers, she hoards them for her lunch.

One afternoon I discovered some leftover pasta in the fridge and my daughter suggested that I adapt my Chicken Marsala recipe and use the leftover pasta to make a Chicken Marsala Casserole. It was a brilliant (and delicious) suggestion! I have since made the recipe multiple times.

This recipe only calls for 8 ounces of pasta. Most bags of rotini pasta contain 16 ounces of pasta making this a really easy recipe to double. I can prep two casseroles, bake one, and put the other one in the freezer for an easy dinner on a busy night. If you choose to double the recipe to make one for the freezer, pull the frozen casserole out the morning of the day you wish to bake it and let it thaw in the refrigerator then bake as directed.

Roasted Potato and Ham Casserole - This is quick and easy recipe for potato and ham casserole. Can be made with leftover ham and what ever veggies you have.

Marsala is a fairly inexpensive wine, but if you can’t find it you can substitute white wine, dry sherry,  broth or a combination of the three. I have even used 3/4 cup of Chardonnay and 1/4 cup of sparkling apple cider with good results.

Layer chicken and mushrooms over pasta then top with cheese and green onions when making a Chicken Marsala Bake

Sp0on the pasta in to the casserole pan. Spread the chicken and mushrooms over the top of the pasta. Then sprinkle cheese and green onions over the chicken. If you have doubled the recipe, cover one of the casseroles with foil and freeze. Bake the other one at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

    Do you think this chicken Marsala casserole could be assembled the night before, put in frig and then baked the next day? My worry would be the sauce would all sink to the bottom and absorbed by the pasta.

    This casserole looks fantastic! I love the idea of using marsala in a casserole dish. If you had a spare moment, I would be delighted if you’d drop this (and anything else you’d like to share) by at the #PureBlogLove DIY and recipe link party!

    Love the look of this casserole. I have a few recipes that use Marsala. They are delicious and I am always looking for new recipes to try out that incorporate it.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
